• Energy Sector
• Waste Sector
• Land Use
• Q & A
• Demonstration/trials in small groups

– Install software if you wish

IPCC Guidelines

• IPCC Guidelines consist of:

1. Methods 2. Default data 3. Good Practice Guidance 4. Reporting Instructions

• 1,2 & 3 can be used whatever reporting is agreed on

– IPCC or otherwise

• Thus the methods and data in the 2006 Guidelines can

be used however emissions and removals are reported

– 1996 Guidelines, GPG or 2006 Guidelines

2006 Guidelines

• The Revised 1996 Guidelines are 16 years old and much of the

data they use is significantly older

• The 2006 Guidelines are a valuable resource that

– Contain much new and revised data – Have improved data and methods that can and are being used by inventory compilers reporting under the Revised 1996 Guidelines – Include methods for a more complete range of sources/sinks. – Dispense with “potential emissions” approaches replacing them with simple Tier 1 methods. – Update and expand guidance on “Good Practice”: QA/QC, Data Collection, Uncertainties, Methodological Choice etc.

Example of improved emission factors: Fossil Fuel Carbon Contents

Revised 1996 Guidelines + GPG

• Marland & Rotty (1984)
• Grubb (1989)
• Expert Meetings

– 1991 OECD (1991) – 1992 IPCC/OECD (1993)

• Conversions use CV from OECD/IEA

(1996) and 10% & 5% for gross to net CV (GCV to NCV)

2006 Guidelines

• Annex 1 Parties Inventories submitted

in 2004 (2002 Emissions): NCV, Carbon factors

• IPCC EFDB data as of December

2003: Carbon and CV data including developing countries

• IEA NCV Database November 2004

(includes developing country data)

these sub- categories

New Tier 1 Method: Landfills

• The 2006 Guidelines provide a simple, Tier 1 approach, to

estimating emissions from landfill (SWDS).

– This avoids any “potential” emission estimates as these are misleading and may over- or under-estimate emissions – A spreadsheet is provided that at a minimum requires ONLY the waste arising in the current year (with historic population data). – As more information is added the estimates become increasingly

• refined. A time series of waste arising, changes in SWDS capacity or

changes in waste composition can be included if available. – Incidentally this spreadsheet can be used for projections

New Methods: IPPU & HWP

• Fluorinated Gases

– Minimal data needed: Only need to know current years’ imports, exports, production etc. and year of first use.

• Harvested Wood Products

– No national data needed: All data can be downloaded from the FAO.

Sectoral Changes in 2006 Guidelines

• Energy

– Improved fuel factors based on wide range of data – CCS included explicitly – Role of “reference approach” as QA tool clarified – Urea Based catalysts

• IPPU – Industrial Processes and Product Use

– Combines Industrial Processes and Solvent Use – No removals from short term CO2 storage in products unless emissions accounted for (e.g. Urea)

• AFOLU – Agriculture. Forestry and Other Land Use

– Combines Agriculture and LULUCF – Improved consistency and coverage of fires (n.b. mapping back)

• Waste

– New FOD model for landfill sites

Summary

• The 2006 Guidelines are available and can be used to

estimate emissions and removals for reporting according to either the 1996, GPG or 2006 guidelines

• They are a valuable resource with

 New and updated emission factors and other parameters  Revised and updated methods

• No “potential” emissions (landfills, F-gas use) all Tier 1 methods give estimates of

annual emissions

• Classification revised to improve transparency and reduce risk of double-counting
• r omissions
• More clarity on distinction of Energy and IPPU sectors (non-energy use of fuels)
• More sources/sinks and gases covered
• Improved HWP guidance

 GPG and methodological guidance integrated

IPCC Inventory Software

• We now have software that can assist in using the 2006

Guidelines

It can be used for the whole inventory or just individual categories Stand alone software with modest hardware requirements Includes Uncertainty and Key Category Analysis Aids QA/QC Will output in non-Annex 1 National Communications format Will be developed to include more input/output and reporting

• ptions and complete Tier 2 coverage

• Estimates actual emissions

Two options for estimation of emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) depending on data availability

• Waste composition
• Bulk waste

Historical data on solid waste disposal

• Amount of MSW can be estimated from population and per capita waste

generation data (Tier1)
